[jdom-interest] jdom and dom4j

[Jason Hunter]

I enjoy having you here, Bob.  And I don't recall any inappropriate
dom4j comments coming from you.

The goal here is to solve people's problems.  The goal is for JDOM to do
that, but if not...  I'm not making any money or losing any money based
on what people choose.  :-)
